Thanks for the explanation. I think this is sufficiently complicated that driver patches to facilitate it can't effectively be reviewed separately from the gm2 driver itself (i.e. the two patches should be posted for review at the same time), unless the driver patches make sense as cleanups in their own right in the context of the front ends already in tree. The sort of change that's more suitable for review indepedent of the front end would be e.g. fixes for optimization bugs where you've only triggered the bug with M2 input but will propose the patch on the basis that the GIMPLE produced by the front end is valid and is being transformed in an invalid way, even if no other front end produces that GIMPLE. -- Joseph S.
